This isn't drinking water, though. This is the concentration in water that is going to be discharged into the ocean and rapidly diluted even further (1 - 2 Bq/L within a few km of where it's being discharged, and difficult to distinguish from background levels in the ocean beyond that [1]). And as the article notes, there are active Nuclear power plants in France and China (and South Korea [2]) that discharge even more tritium per year than is planned at Fukushima. Should people also be cautious about eating seafood from those regions as well? [1] https://www.meti.go.jp/english/earthquake/nuclear/decommissi...
